Keystone Repertory Theater, a summer theater in residence at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, will close its 2014 season with Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie.” The production will be performed in the Waller Hall Studio Theater Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Tennessee Williams’s classic semiautobiographical piece — celebrating the 70th anniversary of its premiere — is explored and re-imagined through narrator, Tom, and his memories. Tom directly engages with his audience and takes them back to St. Louis in 1937, where his mother, Amanda, obsesses over finding a “gentleman caller” for her daughter, Laura.

Tickets are available now at http://iuptickets.com and at the Hadley Union Building box office on the IUP campus. Tickets can also be purchased by calling (724) 357-1313.

Remaining tickets will be sold at the door starting 45 minutes before the performance. Tickets are priced at $14 for regular admission, $12 for senior citizens, and $10 for students and children. Seating is limited.

KRT is produced by IUP’s Department of Theater and Dance and is funded, in part, by the Student Cooperative Association along with sponsorships and private donations.
